Editor 7. Thomas Fortune, OF the NeC York
Fhee,nan, talked to q sun reporter yesterday
about the proposed Afro-American League, whose
formation Editor Fortune Is urging in his news
paper.
81 first proposed the idea OF q national leaguing

the close OF en- editorial which published i've
weeks ago upon the lynching or four colored men
al York, sc. asked II the colored people OF the
whole country couldn't band themselves together
In some way and do something 20 better the de-
moraiized condition Of our race In the South as
well as 70 secure some OF the civil rights which
denied US In the North. The idea WAS taken up
and advocated by al the leading newspapers ed
TIED by colored men In the land, and received the
endorsement OF our leading coiored citiZens had
no ioes OF starting such movement as grew up
when wrote the editorial, and 1 was somewhat
surprised at the eagerness with which the sugges-
ton was acted upon.
sour plans are not matured yet What we are
trying TO do now is TO get our people organized
upon the general basis OF belief In a movement TO
secure our rights We propose 20 form ward and
county and State leagues nrst. Then we shall hold
q national convention and settle the exact pur-
poses and policy OF our order IN a constitution and
bylaws In general way, however, I may say
that the league Will doubtless aim at the creation
by agitation OF public opinion favorable TO thu
rights OF the colored man, and at the collection
and maintenance OF a fund Tor the prosecution OF
those who violate the laws which have been en-.
acted In our behalf The league will mIngIe IA

The Ruilders of the Pyramids.

A personal inspection of the pyramids of Egypt, made by quarry owner, who spent some time recently on the Nile, has led him to the conclusion that the old Egyptians were better builders than those of the present day. He states that there arc blocks of stone in the py- ramid which weigh three or four times as much as the obclisk on the embank- ment He saw stone whose estimated weight was sSO tons. But then the builders of the pyramids counted hu- man labor lightly. They had great masses of subjects upon whom to draw, and most of their work was done by sheer manual labor and force. There are stones in the pyramids 30 feet in length which fit so closely together that penknife may be run over the surface without discovering the break between them. They arc not laid with mortar, either. There is no machinery so per feet that it will make two surfaces 30 feet in length which will meet together in unison as these stones in the pyramids meet. It is supposed that they were rubbed backward and forward upon each other until the surfaces were as simulated to each other.
